Name Date Angles Associated with Parallel Lines Use the diagram to answer Questions 1 and 2. In the diagram, lines 1, and 1. are intersected by transversal m, forming angles 1-8, as shown 1. FL; I Ly, what do know about 22 and 26? Use informal arguments to support your claim, 2. If Ly Il La, what do know about £1 and 23? Use informal arguments to support your claim. Use the diagram below to de Problems 1-6 Identify all pairs of corresponding angles. Are the pairs of corresponding angles equal in measure? How do you know? Identify all pairs of alternate interior angles. Are the pairs of alternate interior angles equal in measure? How do you know? Use an informal argument to describe why 21 and 28 are equal in measure if Ly ll Le Assuming Ly Il Ly if the measure of 24 is 73°, what is the measure of 28? How do you know? Assuming Ly || La, if the measure of 23 is 107° degrees, what is the measure of 26? Haw do you know? ‘Assuming Ly ll Ly, if the measure of 22 is 107°, what is the measure of 27? How do you know? Would your answers to Problems 4-6 be the seme if you had nat been informed that 1, || L:? Why, or why not? Use an informal argument to describe why 21 and 25 are equal in measure if Ly lI La Use an informal argument to describe why 24 and 25 are equal in measure if Ll] Lo 10. Assume that [, isnot parallel to L. Explain why 23 + 27. Use the diagram to answer Questions 1 and 2. Inthe diagram, lines J, and, are intersected by transversal my, forming angles 1-8, 25 shown, 1, FL, La, what do know about /2.and 6, Use informal arguments to support your claim. They are alternate interior anges because they are on opposite sides of the transversal and inside of fines Ly and L Also, the angles are equal in measure because the ines 1, and are parallel. Ifwe rotated angle 2 oround the ‘midpoint ofthe segment between the parallel lines, then it would mop onto angie 6. 2. Hf Ly I, what do know about 21 and 2:3? Use informal arguments to support your claim. ‘They are corresponding angles because they are on the same side ofthe transversal and above each of lines Ly and Ly. Also, the angles are equal in measure because the lines Land L, are paraiel. if we trensloted angle 1 along a vector (the same length os the segment between the poralel nes), then it would mop onto angle 3. Students practice identifying corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles fram a diagram. Use the diagram below to do Problems 1-6. 1, entity all pats of corresponding angles. Ate the pairs of corresponding angles equal in measure? How do you know? 2Vond 25, 4and 8, £2 ond 26, 23 0nd 27 There isn information provided about the lines inthe diagram being parallel. For that reason, we do not know if the pairs of corresponding angles are equol. if we knew the lines were parallel, we could use translation to map one ‘angie onto another. 2. ldentify all pars of alternate interior angles. Are the pais of alternate interior angles equal in measure? How do you know? eM.and 25, ¢3 and 26 There is no information provided about the lines in the diagram being parallel. For that reason, we do not know if (he pairs of alternote interior angles are equel in measure. Ifthe lines were poralel, we could use rotation to show (hat the pots of ongles would map onto one another proving they are equal in measure 3. _Usean informal argument to describe why £1 and 28 are equal in measure if Ly IL. The reason that angle 1 and angle are equal in measure when the lines are parllel is because you can rotate ‘round the midpoint ofthe segment between the parallel lines. A rotation would then map angle 1 onto angie 8, showing that they are congruent and equol ia measure. 4. Assuming Ly IL: ifthe measure of 24 i 75°, what isthe measure of 21? How do you know? The measure of /81is 7°. This must be true because they are corresponding angles of parallel ins. 5. Assuming Ly I L,f the measure of 23 is 107° degrees, whats the measure of £6? How do you know? The measure of <6 is 107°, This must be true because they are olternote interior anales of pale lines 6, Assuming Jy I athe measure of 22 is 107, what the measure of 27? Haw do you know? The measure of 27 is 107°, This must be true because they ae alternate exterior angles of poral lines 7. Would your answers to Problems 4-6 be the same if you had not been informed that Ly || L:? Why, or why not? uo, The fact thot the lines ore parallel is the reoson we con stote that specific pars of angles are equal. We con use asic rigid motions to prove thot angies associated with parallel lines have the property of being equal when they ‘ore corresponding, alternate interior, or alternate exterior angles. Ifthe lines are net parallel, then we could stl classify the angles, but we would nat know anything about their measures. 8. Use an informal argument to describe why 21 and £5 are equal in measure if Ly Le ‘The reason that angle 1 and angle 5 are equal in measure when the lines are parallel is because you can translate ‘slong avector equal a length ofthe segment between the parallel lines; thea, angle 1 would map onto angle 5. 9. Use an informal argument to describe why 24 and £5 are equal in measure it IL The reason that angle 4 and angle 5 are equal in measure when the lines are parllel is because when you rotate dongle 4 around the midpoint ofthe segment hetween the parle lines, angle 4 will map onto angle S. 10, Assume that is not parallelta 1. Explain why 23 + 27, Ifthe lives ere not parallel, then all we know about angle 3 and angle 7 is thot they are corresponding angles. Ifthe ines are porale, we could use translation to map one angle onto the other to show that they are equal in measure. However, we are to assume that the lines are not parallel, which means thot their corresponding angles wil nt be ‘equal in measure.
